I saw a Facebook thread where Peter Green pointed out that a bunch of pseudo-papists, *cough, cough* I mean Federal Vision advocates, have had 3 conferences opposing Roman Catholicism. Dude.
Denial is not just a river in Egypt.
If I'm being totally honest, I like yanking Peter's chain about this. There is nothing more absurd than watching Leithart and Jordan badmouth the whole Reformation, but still try to ignore the obvious implications of that.
It might be sporting fun to snarkily ask the confessionalists how their ecclesial deism is not a game of theological Where's Waldo, but at least we know they don't wanna be Catholic. Reading the Federal Visionists, you get the feeling that maybe it was all a big misunderstanding, at least until you suggest that it might impose a presumption of return. You might as well suggest putting puppies in blenders.
Captain Jack was right, I think: somebody had a few too many beers. I was a Federal Visionist, and now, I'm Catholic. C'mon, boys, if you stop resisting, I promise, I won't gloat.
